"...if anyone makes the assistance of grace depend on the humility or obedience of man and does not agree that it is a gift of grace itself that we are obedient and humble, he contradicts the Apostle who says, "What have you that you did not receive?" (1 Cor. 4:7), and, "But by the grace of God I am what I am" (1 Cor. 15:10). (Council of Orange: Canon 6)

West Linn Reformed Bible Study / Church Plant

Immanuelâ€™s Reformed Church of Salem, in conjunction with several West Linn families, would like to invite anyone that has an interest in learning about Christ Centered, Reformed Doctrine to attend the West Linn Reformed Bible Study, starting September 19, 2008 at the West Linn Adult Center. Leading the eight week Bible study will be Pastor Eric Tuininga, from Immanuelâ€™s Reformed Church. Doctrines that are taught each week will be grounded in Scripture alone and summarized in the Reformed Confessions (Heidelberg Catechism, Belgic Confession, and Canons of Dordt).

It is our prayer that this Bible study will bring a core group of families together that have a passion for the gospel, which is the announcement of salvation by Godâ€™s grace alone, through faith alone, because of Christ alone. God willing, these families will be the core of a new United Reformed Church in West Linn.

If you feel Godâ€™s leading to become part of a new church plant in West Linn, or just want to learn more about Reformed Doctrine, please join us!
